Burda Style For people who sew

Important! It is best to construct the tie without ironing the silk. If you feel you absolutely need to, please be gentle and use a silk setting. The tie will have a better body and the natural beauty of the silk’s bias will come through if you don’t use the iron.

Turn the tippings right side out. Depending on the thickness of your silk, you may be able to form a beautiful point without trimming any of the fabric. (Not trimming the point will help the keep the point shaped well, but if you have a thicker silk you made have to.) Gently pull the fabric out with the sharp end of a pin. If you need to, trim some of the excess fabric out from the tip.

Repeat for wide and narrow ends.
